Rest in Peace ...

Rest in peace George Carlin. ROFL Actually George would find a lot of humor in that phrase. Rest? Hey, I'm dead. You think I need some sleep? lol Peace? What peace? Is there war? I'm dead, mort, kaput. No peace or war for me. ;)

Heron, his profanity didn't bother me ... like anything else in life, it has a time and a place. Maturity is being able to recognize when both makes it appropriate. Let's face it, they're words and words shouldn't scare us.

I guess it didn't bother me for Carlin to use profanity in the character role he played. His profanity was more like street adjectives and adverbs and he was not using it to belittle or denigrate anyone. In the venue he chose for adults, it was acceptable. Of course we know there are a lot of places it would not be acceptable.

Absolutely ... an HBO special or a late night comedy club performance scream for a profanity or two. In no way did he RELY on profanity for humor, but it give his comedy a bit of an edge ... and looking at him, you just knew it was "natural" for him to throw a few out. lol
